Colin Daly法官在判刑时考虑了Byrnes的成长困难和吸毒成瘾的历史,并同时对生产刀具判处3年徒刑。 Judge Colin Daly considered Byrnes’ troubled upbringing and history of drug addiction when sentencing, and imposed a concurrent three-year sentence for knife production. 他还必须完成为期12个月的缓刑方案,并在一年内不使用暴力。 He must also complete a 12-month probation program and refrain from violence for a year.
